Matthew stars alongside Emilia Clarke (Game of Thrones) and Sam Claflin (The Hunger Games) in Me Before You, out June 3rd and discusses the fact that all of them have worked on successful film/tv franchises:

“To work with those talented people, Emilia and Sam and Jenna [Coleman], it was just so much fun”, Lewis told RadioTimes.com.

“We’re all of an age and we’ve all sort of got ourselves caught up in these mad franchises and trying to find our way in the world of acting and whatnot”, he continued, “and I think it was just a coming together of a bunch of people who are in a very similar mindset and a very similar place in their lives and it was just really fun.”

He also discusses the possibility of a guest role in Doctor Who by saying: “I’ve not watched Doctor Who since it was David Tennant, but yeah, it looks like it’d be a bit of fun. Maybe a guest role would be a bit of fun, wouldn’t it? I mean why not?”

Finally he mentions his work on the audiobook, Alien: Out of the Shadows, which is available on Audible today. Matt plays Communications Officer John Baxter in “a thrilling tale of an outbreak on a mining vessel, set between the first and second films in Ridley’s Scott’s iconic franchise.”

“I’m such a huge fan of the first couple of movies. My character is so much fun and so I didn’t really care who was doing it. I just wanted to get involved,” he said.
